WASHINGTON — It didn’t take long for Dave Martinez to earn his first ejection as a major league manager.
The Nationals’ rookie skipper made an early exit from his eighth game in the job, getting tossed by umpire Marty Foster at the end of the third inning against the Mets on Saturday.
Martinez came out to argue after Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon was ejected by Foster. Rendon had flipped his bat after being called out on strikes for the inning’s final out while facing Mets lefty Steven Matz.
Foster allowed Martinez to yell for quite a bit before telling him his day was over.
